Publicize center hours, resources, services, and events such as classes or workshops. Most visitors use a search engine to find you. Search your center name online to see what visitors see. Check for a Google My Business and Yelp page. You can claim and update these pages for your center. Here are some outreach ideas:
- Provide information to stake and ward groups about center resources and activities.
- Post notices and flyers on meetinghouse bulletin boards.
- Conduct FamilySearch open houses or workshops.
- Plan special events where ward and full-time missionaries can invite investigators to learn more about FamilySearch and the Church.
- Work with ward and stake leaders to host discovery experiences and events in the center.
- Give presentations in local libraries, societies, schools, or retirement centers.
- Set up booths at local fairs or seminars.
- Work with the stake director of public affairs to reach out to local media about events.
